He is the absolute best

Attorney Justin D. Riem worked on my case. If this man is not working on your case you should fear him. He has an extraordinary gift, he senses people, he takes time to understand you, your motives, your goals, and he will be at all times be upfront and honest with you. I came to him stressed, with a... butt load of papers and drowned fully on uncertainty and completely powerless, surrounded by a web of lies that was the perception my ex-wife built with help of her attorney who sided on her lies vs understanding the overall picture. Justin took his time and worked with his team during extenuating hours dissecting, reading, understanding, putting a case together and along all that communicating with me. Short story, he turned my divorce around, he gave me back my little ones. Time and time again when I was thinking there was no turn around this man made it happen. I will be forever thankful by what he made happen and I will always continue referring people to him and his team. Needless to say he turned my case around at trial. He knew exactly how to approach, he knew exactly what points to make and he made my voice be heard.

Divorce Case

I retained Justin Riem in my recent divorce case. I met with several attorneys in the area before I decided on Justin. I can honestly say, I hired the best of the best. My divorce was beyond complicated and contentious. Early in the case my children were taken from their home and moved to a different... area of Iowa. Justin worked fast and diligently within the rules of the court system to have them brought home. He left absolutely no detail unturned to make sure the case would work to my advantage. My divorce was finalized in a manner that was amicable and the kids were back where they belonged with both parents. I have no doubts that this was because of the hard work and knowledge that Justin put into my case. Plain and simple, Justin is far and away one of the most, if not the most polished in his profession in the Cedar Rapids area

First rate attorney

Very pleased with Justin Riem of Arenson Law Group. He successfully won my custody modification case for which I am incredibly thankful. He is very professional and ensures expectations are set correctly. He is a skilled attorney that will aggressively pursue your case according to the law.... His level of aggressiveness is perfect. He is not overly aggressive to a point that it creates more issues than it resolves, or worse, not aggressive enough where your rights and opportunities slip by. He communicated well and in a timely manner. At all times during the case he kept me fully up to date in all respects. Whenever a decision point was reached he provided all of the "pro's and con's" of each decision path. Absolutely no complaints about his performance. You would do well to retain Justin if you find yourself in need of an attorney.

Puts children first

Justin was fantastic handling my divorce. He was always right to the point, and concerned about my time and billing. There was never a surprise at what I was being charged. He was good at telling me what I needed to get done and used his experience to say what he expected from opposing counsel. H...e took the time to get to know my personal situation and it sort of felt like he molded the case around my specific circumstance. He had great ideas for negotiating. He had ideas on how to show opposing counsel facts and figures which helps negotiating. Fortunately, I did not have to go to trial, but I felt very confident if he would have represented me in court. He's fair, but definitely fights for his client. He's very compassionate and understands this is a very rough event in a person's life. He ran my divorce as I wanted him to, for example, if I told him to 'wait a while', he did. I'd highly recommend him for children. He wanted the children to 'maintain their standard of living', and felt like he was trying to do what's best for them.
